00:00:05.000 He is a Democrat-supported speaker.
00:00:07.000 And then Jonathan Cho from Seattle, Washington recaps our time on how Antifa tried to kill him and how the radical left is supporting it.

00:02:22.000 June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:28.000 The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:02:32.000 Join us for the People's Convention.
00:02:35.000 This is a new ballgame, everybody.
00:02:37.000 You send a message.
00:02:38.000 We play to win.
00:02:40.000 Register now at tpaction.com/slash peoples.
00:02:51.000 Yesterday, the breaking news was Marjorie Taylor Greene went to the House floor and proceeded with a motion to vacate the chair.
00:03:01.000 Now, look, you might like MTG, you might dislike MTG, but you got to give her credit.
00:03:06.000 She's got stones of steel.
00:03:08.000 I mean, to do this, it does not make you a fan favorite in the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:03:16.000 Now, whether it was smart timing during election year, that's all stuff that people could debate a different time.
00:03:21.000 I'm actually not that interested in that.
00:03:24.000 I'm instead, I'm more interested in who bailed Mike Johnson out.
00:03:31.000 There was a small group of Republicans who decided to say we want to vacate the chair.
00:03:38.000 Small group.
00:03:39.000 The majority of Republicans, vast majority, 90 plus percent, said we want to keep Mike Johnson, and Democrats agreed.
00:03:47.000 Here's Marjorie Taylor Greene going to the House floor, invoking the motion to vacate.
00:03:54.000 Play Cut 123.
00:03:56.000 I seek recognition to give notice of my intent to raise a question of the privileges of the House.
00:04:02.000 The form of the resolution is as follows, declaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to be vacant.
00:04:17.000 This is the uniparty for the American people watching.
00:04:22.000 Gentlelady will suspend.
00:04:24.000 So she's booed on the House floor.
00:04:26.000 Interesting, that's the same House that was celebrating with Ukrainian flags a couple of weeks ago.
00:04:32.000 The same house that was celebrating waving foreign flags is the house that is booing MTG for vacating the chair.
00:04:42.000 Something to think about.
00:04:43.000 The same house that passed warrantless spying on Americans, the same house that has no concern about securing our southern border or quelling the invasion.
00:04:55.000 But who do they boo?
00:04:57.000 Oh, no, it's not booing the fact that we are adding a trillion dollars to our national debt every 100 days.
00:05:03.000 No, they're booing MTG for challenging the status quo.
00:05:08.000 The same house that is spending, by the way, more than Nancy Pelosi, your Republican Party that is digging our country deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper into debt.
00:05:20.000 But MTG said something quite wise.
00:05:23.000 MTG said, you hear that?
00:05:25.000 This is the Uniparty.
00:05:29.000 Now, we use that phrase all the time.
00:05:31.000 MTG is part of the Republican MAGA base.
00:05:35.000 We know what the phrase Uniparty means.
00:05:39.000 But the media, they've never heard this before.
00:05:41.000 The media, they hear this, they think she's saying unity party.
00:05:44.000 Okay, there's a difference between unity party and uniparty.
00:05:48.000 They're similar, but there's a difference.
00:05:50.000 And the deeper you dive into politics, which is why we need Trump so badly, which is why you need to get to work for Donald Trump, is that the power center in Washington, D.C. hinges on agreement, not disagreement.
00:06:07.000 They make it seem as if D.C. is more divided than ever.
00:06:11.000 They make it seem as if that they're quarreling and screaming at one another, when in reality, there has never been so much agreement in the kingdom of Washington, D.C. Agreement to obliterate the First Amendment Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
00:06:25.000 Agreement to keep on spying on Americans unconstitutionally.
00:06:29.000 Agreement to borrow money that we don't have.
00:06:32.000 An agreement to fully fund the corporate oligarchy and the military-industrial complex.
00:06:39.000 MTG was spot on when she said, hear that?
00:06:42.000 That is the Uniparty.
00:06:45.000 And while they're booing and groaning, who's doing the booing and the groaning?
00:06:51.000 A Speaker of the House should first and foremost have support within his or her own party.
00:06:59.000 Otherwise, you are a coalition government speaker.
00:07:04.000 Now, this is not about doing I told you so.
00:07:07.000 It's not.
00:07:08.000 And I know a lot of you have disagreements and do not like Kevin McCarthy at all.
00:07:12.000 However, here's a couple facts for you.
00:07:15.000 When Kevin McCarthy was speaker, he went out of his way to listen and to try and accommodate the grassroots conservative base.
00:07:25.000 And he did not always succeed in that regard.
00:07:27.000 McCarthy did some things over the summer that I didn't like and you certainly didn't like.
00:07:31.000 And you deserve to be mad over that, specifically on spending.
00:07:35.000 When Kevin McCarthy had the chair vacated by Matt Gates, not a single Democrat bailed him out.
00:07:43.000 Not a single Democrat bailed out Kevin McCarthy.
00:07:48.000 And now when we try to, or not we, but when MTG tries to vacate the chair of Speaker Johnson, the Democrat Party bails him out.
00:07:58.000 Why?
00:07:58.000 Because they're getting everything they want from Speaker Johnson.
00:08:03.000 One of the things that we warned about, and tragically it came true.
00:08:08.000 One of the things we warned about even during the first speaker fight when Kevin McCarthy had to go through 10 or 11 or 12 rounds was that we might get a uniparty power sharing agreement or a coalition speaker.
00:08:23.000 We were told that will never happen.
00:08:25.000 You will not get a coalition speaker where basically it's halftime Republican, halftime Democrat.
00:08:30.000 Speaker Johnson is a coalition speaker.
00:08:33.000 In fact, Speaker Johnson is a Democrat speaker of the House.
00:08:38.000 They love him so much that they bailed him out.
00:08:41.000 Again, I am not speculating here.
00:08:43.000 I am not unfairly attacking anybody.
00:08:46.000 I am simply stating a fact.
00:08:49.000 And the fact is that Speaker Johnson's base is not Eli Crane.
00:08:56.000 It's not Andy Biggs.
00:08:58.000 It's not Chip Roy.
00:08:59.000 And I'm going to list off the folks who voted to change the Republican Party for the better.
00:09:06.000 Andy Biggs of Arizona, Eric Burleson of Missouri, Eli Crane of Arizona, Warren Davidson of Ohio, MTG, obviously of Georgia, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, Barry Moore of Alabama, Chip Roy of Texas, Victoria Sparts of Indiana.
00:09:23.000 Now, under the old standards, those 12 Republicans would have been enough to take down Johnson.
00:09:28.000 It only took eight Republicans to take down Kevin McCarthy, but that was because under the old standards, a speaker was only supported by his own party.
00:09:36.000 The Democrats were happy to stand aside and let Republicans topple McCarthy.
00:09:40.000 But now things have dramatically changed.
00:09:42.000 Hakeem Jeffries privately cut a deal with Speaker Johnson.
00:09:47.000 And I got to give Kevin McCarthy credit.
00:09:49.000 Kevin McCarthy did not cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi.
00:09:52.000 He could have.
00:09:53.000 You know that there was a deal on the table for Kevin McCarthy to cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to keep his speakership?
00:09:59.000 And he didn't.
00:10:01.000 I'm just stating facts here.
00:10:02.000 I'm not asking you to be a fan of Kevin, but it's true.
00:10:06.000 Mike Johnson cut a deal with Hakeem Jeffries because he wanted to be speaker more than he wants America to be strong and America to be a prominent nation again.
00:10:23.000 Thanks to Speaker Johnson, the Democrats got their government funding.
00:10:27.000 They got Pfizer authorization.
00:10:29.000 They got $61 billion more for Ukraine.
00:10:31.000 No concessions on the border.
00:10:33.000 Jack Smith is fully funded.
00:10:34.000 The FBI is fully funded.
00:10:36.000 We have zero spending cuts and we are borrowing a trillion dollars every hundred days.
00:10:42.000 Democrats, they're thrilled.
00:10:45.000 Democrats basically got everything that they would have received if they were running the House.
00:10:51.000 And the effects of this will be felt for a long time.
00:10:53.000 Once we've normalized the idea of the minority party propping up the majority, it's far, far more likely that we'll see a left-wing Republican hold power as a speaker to keep his hold on power this year.
00:11:05.000 Mike Johnson might have damaged the conservative cause for years, maybe even decades.
00:11:11.000 And I want to repeat this because it's very, very important for emphasis, which is Mike Johnson.
00:11:19.000 He could have told Hakeem Jeffries, no deal, I'll resign as speaker.
00:11:23.000 My own party doesn't want me.
00:11:25.000 You cannot remain as speaker under typical order if your party doesn't respect you.
00:11:31.000 But Mike Johnson wanted to be speaker so badly, he is willing to have people like Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries bail him out.
00:11:45.000 So Mike Johnson got what he wanted.
00:11:47.000 He remains speaker, but not a Republican one.
00:11:50.000 He is Hakeem Jeffries' tool and a tool being used to destroy the country.
00:11:59.000 Remember, as a kid, your parents and grandparents making you try all the vegetables on your plate or when they coaxed you to eat fruit instead of sweets?
00:12:05.000 That's because they knew what was good for you.
00:12:07.000 And it's truer today than ever before.
00:12:09.000 You need to eat your fruits and veggies.
00:12:11.000 There's no substitute for a healthy diet, but there is Balance of Nature.
00:12:15.000 Their products are gluten-free and non-GMO, and they contain no added sugars or synthetics.
00:12:20.000 If you're looking for something to make you feel better naturally, you should definitely try Balance of Nature today.
00:12:25.000 Eat your fruits and veggies every single day with Balance of Nature.
00:12:28.000 I started taking Balance of Nature the day I decided I was ready to feel better.

00:12:48.000 Use discount code Charlie to get 35% off.
00:12:53.000 And Mike Johnson just wanted to hold on to power.
00:12:55.000 And he was willing to hold on to power and not even deal with his own party.
00:13:00.000 Again, this is more defection votes than Kevin McCarthy received.
00:13:03.000 Interestingly, Matt Gates didn't vote to get rid of Mike Johnson.
00:13:07.000 That's interesting.
00:13:08.000 So Matt Gates was the original one who got rid of Kevin, but he didn't vote to get rid of Mike Johnson.
00:13:14.000 I'd love to hear Matt's reasoning for that.
00:13:17.000 Andy Biggs of Arizona, Eric Burleson of Missouri, Eli Crane of Arizona, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Alex Mooney of West Virginia, Barry Moore of Alabama, Chip Roy of Texas, and Victoria Spartans of Indiana.
00:13:29.000 They were the ones that decided to advance the motion to vacate.
00:13:35.000 You might say, but hold on, Mike Johnson had more defections than Kevin McCarthy.
00:13:39.000 It's because the Democrat Party whipped votes for Mike Johnson.
00:13:44.000 You think that that whipping of the votes did not come without a cost or a price?
00:13:48.000 Of course it came with a price.
00:13:50.000 Hakeem Jeffries saw an opportunity, and Nancy Pelosi trained him in this, obviously.
00:13:57.000 And Mike Johnson asked for a bailout.
00:14:00.000 Mike Johnson went to Hakeem Jeffries and was like, Hey, can I remain speaker and have the big office with all the trappings of power?
00:14:09.000 You get whatever you want.
00:14:10.000 How's that?
00:14:12.000 How's that?
00:14:13.000 You get whatever you want.
00:14:16.000 You can keep on borrowing money.
00:14:18.000 Jack Smith gets unlimited funding.
00:14:20.000 The FBI gets a beautiful new building.
00:14:22.000 The border goes unsecure.
00:14:24.000 We keep on funding reckless, endless war.
00:14:27.000 But I want the big office and I want the trappings of power.
00:14:31.000 Mike Johnson could have and should have done the honorable thing and just stepped down.
00:14:36.000 Just said, let's have a new speaker.
00:14:38.000 I'm obviously, let's not even go through this motion vacate thing.
00:14:41.000 I'm not supported by my own party.
00:14:43.000 I refuse to allow a new tradition to begin where we allow the minority party to then combine forces with the majority party.
00:14:56.000 Do you understand the historical significance here?
00:14:59.000 What Mike Johnson has just done is he has now set a precedent, supported by many people in conservative media and supported by many people that are trusted voices, to effectively say that Republicans may never control the House of Representatives again.
00:15:14.000 I'm going to repeat that.
00:15:16.000 What Mike Johnson has just demonstrated is that you can get away with betraying the entire base of the Republican Party.
00:15:24.000 You can turn your back on them, not care at all.
00:15:28.000 And so let's just play this out.
00:15:30.000 Let's say that Donald Trump hopefully wins the presidency this fall.
00:15:34.000 I give it a 50-50 shot, 50-50 shot, coin toss.
00:15:38.000 We got to work harder, got to register more voters, got to chase more ballots.
00:15:41.000 And let's say that Mike Johnson remains a speaker and he only has a three-seat majority or a four-seat majority.
00:15:50.000 Why wouldn't Mike Johnson just do an alliance with the Democrats?
00:15:54.000 He wants to remain Speaker.
00:15:56.000 This totally empowers the liberal wing of the Republican caucus to effectively destroy any future House Republican majority.
00:16:06.000 You can say what you want about John Boehner or about Paul Ryan.
00:16:10.000 They did not even go to the depths of this.
00:16:13.000 They did not even go this low.
00:16:16.000 They did not want to be speaker that bad.
00:16:17.000 John Boehner just resigned when the motion to vacate was bubbling up.
00:16:21.000 Meadows was threatening it.
00:16:22.000 He was done.
00:16:23.000 Paul Ryan says, I'm done.
00:16:24.000 I don't want to deal with this anymore.
00:16:27.000 Kevin McCarthy is like, I am unwilling.
00:16:30.000 Kevin McCarthy was unwilling to cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi.
00:16:35.000 And I could tell you on good authority, that deal was probed.
00:16:39.000 Basically, Nancy was like, if you want to remain speaker, let's talk.
00:16:43.000 So I want to just, I hope you understand that.
00:16:45.000 Kevin McCarthy could have cut a deal.
00:16:47.000 Mike Johnson, he saw this threat coming from MTG and he wanted to remain speaker.
00:16:53.000 And so Hakeem Jeffries made the very same call that Pelosi made because Pelosi and McCarthy are from the same state.
00:16:58.000 They've known each other for a while.
00:17:00.000 And Hakeem called up Mike Johnson, you want to remain speaker?
00:17:02.000 And Mike Johnson said, oh, yes.
00:17:04.000 He said, I want to remain speaker.
00:17:06.000 He said, okay, so what's it going to take?
00:17:08.000 We don't know that we do not know what deal was cut, but we know a deal was cut.
00:17:12.000 Why?
00:17:13.000 Because we're up against bitter Machiavellian Marxists that would not bail out Mike Johnson unless they were getting everything they wanted.
00:17:20.000 All the Democrats care about is power, and they're good at it.
00:17:24.000 And if you still support Mike Johnson after all of this, you're effectively supporting the Democrat caucus because that's his base.
00:17:30.000 You want to know a fact?
00:17:31.000 More Democrats voted for him to remain a speaker than Republicans.
00:17:36.000 How is that not a Democrat speaker?
00:17:38.000 Mike Johnson crossed the Rubicon.
00:17:43.000 He might have profoundly changed the House of Representatives permanently.
00:17:46.000 Even if we might win the House in the future, it doesn't mean anything.
00:17:50.000 He'll just go cut a deal with the Democrats to remain as a coalition speaker.
00:17:53.000 But hey, Mike Johnson gets chauffeur cars.
00:17:56.000 He gets private security.
00:17:58.000 He gets the big office.
00:18:00.000 He's the speaker of the house.
00:18:02.000 How does that make you feel?
00:18:05.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:18:07.000 I talked to you about how horrible nutrition has become for people in our ultra-processed food society.
00:18:12.000 Truth is, it's even worse for our beloved dogs.
00:18:14.000 Seen dog food lately?
00:18:15.000 It's more like dead food.
00:18:17.000 Mr. Briggs is our best friend, and the more adventurous we are, I've realized that food is the most important thing ensuring he's healthy.
00:18:23.000 Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black has invested everything into bringing our dog's food to life.
00:18:28.000 He created rough greens, not dog food.
00:18:30.000 It's a natural supplement to your dog's existing food, full of essential vitamins and minerals and made right here in America.
00:18:36.000 You don't have to change your dog's food.
00:18:38.000 Just adding rough greens to their existing diet will be the best decision you ever made to improve their life.
00:18:43.000 Mr. Briggs has more energy, plays longer, and is overall the best version of himself.
00:18:49.000 Dr. Black is so confident that this will change your dog's life, he is providing a free Jumpstart trial bag so your dog can try it.
00:18:56.000 You just cover the shipping.
00:18:57.000 Head to roughgreens.com/slash kirk.
00:19:00.000 That is r-u-f-f-greens.com/slash kirk.

00:19:09.000 So, what is the uniparty anyway?
00:19:11.000 And then I want to get into Israel-Gaza because that's overdue.
00:19:14.000 The uniparty is what really runs Washington, D.C.
00:19:19.000 I like the term a lot because uniparty means one, meaning is there's a single, that there's not a Republican or a Democrat Party issue, is that there is a singular party issue, that the moderate parts of the Republican Party and almost all the parts of the Democrat Party, they might act as if they disagree on stuff, but in reality, they agree on the big neoliberal stuff.
00:19:45.000 Unlimited mass migration, adventurous, ferocious, and aggressive international war, unlimited amounts of free trade coming into the country, dumping products and destroying American manufacturing, a complete indifference towards the social issues in our country, grooming of children, so on and so forth.
00:20:07.000 And fifth and final, an unwillingness to restrain the administrative state or the fourth branch of government.
00:20:15.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene on the House floor correctly said, this is the Una party.
00:20:22.000 This is the Uniparty.
00:20:24.000 And okay, you might not like the vote that MTG is doing, but you have to boo her.
00:20:29.000 Meanwhile, you guys were flying Ukrainian flags.
00:20:33.000 No one better embodies the Uniparty than Ken Buck.
00:20:40.000 Ken Buck is from Colorado.
00:20:42.000 He used to be great, and now he's not so great.
00:20:46.000 He used to vote really well, and now he's going on cable television doing the thing that drives me the nuttiest.
00:20:54.000 It's one thing to not like Trump.
00:20:56.000 Okay, plenty of people like that.
00:20:58.000 What drives me up a wall, which I consider to be the highest form of betrayal, is when you abandon your promises to your constituents, and then you go to liberal media to say what they want to hear because it makes you feel good.
00:21:18.000 Ken Buck is a perfect example of Stockholm syndrome.
00:21:23.000 Ken Buck is a perfect example of Stockholm syndrome.
00:21:29.000 Stockholm syndrome is where you fall in love with your captors, where you have been held hostage for quite some time and you've been held hostage for so long that you then fall in love with the people that are holding you hostage.
00:21:45.000 You want your captors to love you.
00:21:48.000 Here's Ken Buck.
00:21:49.000 First of all, this Xanax wine mom on MSNBC, she screws up the whole thing.
00:21:55.000 Oh, unity party.
00:21:56.000 Okay, it's uniparty, okay?
00:21:59.000 It's not about unity.
00:22:00.000 It's about oneness.
00:22:02.000 It's about that it's built on agreement, not the betterment of the country.
00:22:06.000 And here is Ken Buck, who then goes as far to say, to mention that the institutions in this country are working.
00:22:16.000 Tell that to an average 23-year-old, as he is a member of the most depressed, suicidal, alcohol-addicted, drug-addicted generation in history.
00:22:26.000 Oh, the institutions are working.
00:22:28.000 You mean like the CDC, the FDA, the CIA, the FBI that have been inverted against the American people, but this is your average Republican.
00:22:36.000 Play Cut 107.
00:22:38.000 Others use this term unity party like it's an insult.
00:22:42.000 It's a negative.
00:22:43.000 But isn't that what the American people are looking for?
00:22:46.000 Unity, bipartisanship.
00:22:50.000 I agree with you.
00:22:51.000 Bipartisanship a few years ago was a good thing.
00:22:53.000 When people could work across the aisle and there was common ground, it was a good thing.
00:22:58.000 What Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to do is send a message to the American people that the institutions are corrupt, that the institutions are against you, the hardworking American.
00:23:10.000 I think that fails, and it should fail because the institutions are made up of a lot of really good, hardworking people who are trying their very best under difficult circumstances, under very polarizing circumstances, to get good things done.
00:23:23.000 You think Anthony Fauci was trying his best?
00:23:25.000 You think Deborah Burks was trying her best?
00:23:28.000 That's who Glenn, that's who Ken Buck is defending.
00:23:33.000 That's who Ken Buck is defending.
00:23:34.000 He goes on TV and tells them everything they want to hear.
00:23:37.000 Meanwhile, we have a smaller House majority thanks to people like Mike Gallagher and Ken Buck.
00:23:42.000 It makes you wonder: were they ever actually on our team?
00:23:45.000 Were they ever actually in agreement with our value system?
00:23:50.000 And the answer for a lot of these people is: no, they were not.
00:23:54.000 And his legacy is going to be betrayal.
00:23:56.000 He turned his back on the entire House Republican conference.
00:23:59.000 He ran for office asking voters to entrust him with a full term.
00:24:05.000 You see, it's hard to resist the trappings of the kingdom of Washington, D.C. When you get to the kingdom, they offer you all the sweet, seductive, alluring, tempting pleasures of life.
00:24:25.000 They taunt you with it.
00:24:27.000 They say, oh, vote with us.
00:24:29.000 You can get all the beautiful things, the easy thing, but they're actually not beautiful.
00:24:35.000 They're actually rather ugly.
00:24:37.000 You have to understand a lot of these people are dorks and nerds.
00:24:40.000 And being at the cool kid table is a big deal.
00:24:43.000 They ran for office, they won office, and now all of a sudden they get to be treated well.
00:24:50.000 Meanwhile, the country is collapsing.
00:24:53.000 They're happy to become lobbyists after they serve.
00:24:55.000 They're happy to go back into the very same system that they said that they did not like.
00:25:03.000 Here is Ken Buck on CNN auditioning for a new job, Play Cut 106.
00:25:10.000 My experience with Marjorie is that people have talked to her about not filing articles of impeachment on President Biden before he was sworn into office, on not filing articles of impeachment that were groundless on other individuals in the Biden administration.
00:25:26.000 And she was never moved by that.
00:25:27.000 She was always focused on her social media account.
00:25:31.000 And Moscow Marjorie is focused now on this Ukraine issue and getting her talking points from the Kremlin and making sure that she is popular and she is getting a lot of coverage.
00:25:43.000 Did you hear that?
00:25:44.000 You see, that's a perfect example of who Ken Buck is.
00:25:48.000 Ken Buck can't debate on the substance, but Ken Buck says that she's getting her talking points straight from the Kremlin.
00:25:59.000 There's not even your evidence of that.
00:26:01.000 You mean that making the country a priority, America, is a talking point from the Kremlin?
00:26:08.000 But that right there is the picture.
00:26:11.000 That's what we're up against.
00:26:13.000 We're up against one-party rule.
00:26:15.000 It is not a problem that America is more divided than ever.
00:26:19.000 It's that our political system is more unified against us.
00:26:25.000 And all the disagreements actually don't exist.
00:26:28.000 There is no disagreement in D.C. on spending.
00:26:32.000 There is no disagreement in D.C. on war.
00:26:34.000 There is no disagreement in D.C. on corporate lobbying.
00:26:38.000 AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Johnson Johnson, Northrop Grumman, Bowie, Lockheed Martin.
00:26:45.000 There is harmony because they're all on the take, or they're all afraid and they want to be at the cool kids' table, or lesser so, they're ideological zealots for the advancement of the kingdom of Washington, D.C.
00:26:59.000 And this is where Donald Trump, that's why they're trying to put Donald Trump in prison for 700 years.
00:27:04.000 He's a class traitor.
00:27:05.000 He used to be part of that ruling class.
00:27:08.000 He used to be at the top levels of that American society, and he defected from it to go and represent the underclass.
00:27:18.000 We actually have a caste system in this country, and it's brutal and it's ugly how it's been calcified and almost made permanent.
00:27:27.000 And Donald Trump is a symbol of reckoning against that ruling class.
00:27:33.000 Donald Trump is now part of something much bigger than just Trump.
00:27:37.000 And if you fail to grasp and understand his appeal, he is now a placeholder for a population of the country that sees a ruling class that gets richer, wealthier, that gets more and more pompous and prideful, and has contempt for the people that put them there in the first place.
00:28:01.000 He is a symbol to go and overturn those tables.
00:28:04.000 He is the symbol.
00:28:06.000 Trump is a threat, but the movement is the real threat.
00:28:10.000 And they know that.
00:28:11.000 That's why they try to put him in jail.
00:28:14.000 But people like Ken Buck, that's your average Republican.
00:28:17.000 You want to know what you get?
00:28:18.000 That is your average Republican.
00:28:20.000 Spineless, deceitful, baseless in accusations, bought by corporate interest.
00:28:27.000 Certainly not loyal to this country.
00:28:32.000 Three-star general Michael J. Flynn, head of the Pentagon Intelligence Agency, knew all the government's dirty secrets.
00:28:38.000 He was one of the most respected generals in the military.
00:28:41.000 Flynn knew what the Intel world had been up to.
00:28:43.000 He understood its funding.
00:28:45.000 He ordered the first audit of the use of contractors.
00:28:49.000 This set off alarm bells.
00:28:52.000 The explosive new documentary, Flynn, deliver the truth, whatever the cost, and covers the facts behind this scandal.
00:28:59.000 Flynn told the truth.
00:29:00.000 He was the most dangerous person for Donald Trump to hire.
00:29:03.000 I find out the worst enemy that I'm going to face in my life is right here in America.
00:29:08.000 They took my assessment and they wanted me to change it.
00:29:11.000 I was like, I'm changing it.
00:29:13.000 They had to get rid of Flynn.
00:29:14.000 With in-depth interviews, archival footage, and never before seen personal records of the man behind the headlines.
00:29:21.000 I just felt like I was drowning.
00:29:23.000 Flynn, deliver the truth, whatever the cost.
00:29:26.000 Available now.
00:29:27.000 Watch it today.
00:29:28.000 Go to satellitenow.com.
00:29:29.000 Satomnow.com.
00:29:34.000 I want to make sure we make time for this.
00:29:36.000 Jonathan is with us, Jonathan Cho, from Seattle, Washington.
00:29:40.000 He was assaulted in the Antifa deal during our event there at University of Washington.
00:29:45.000 Jonathan, welcome to the program.
00:29:46.000 Walk our audience through what happened on the campus of the University of Washington.
00:29:50.000 Well, first of all, Charlie, glad you're okay.
00:29:52.000 You were inside safe and sound while all the insanity was happening outside, but it was an incredible event.
00:29:58.000 But unfortunately, again, this past past couple of days, the TPUSA Frontlines team, we were out there recording like we always do this Hamas encampment essentially that's sprouted up here in the quad.
00:30:13.000 And we were doing interviews and Antifa militants who have essentially infiltrated this camp spotted us and they tried to chase us out of the quad.
00:30:22.000 We were running around and we finally got to a staircase and that's when we got cornered.
00:30:27.000 About 20 folks dressed up in black block armor essentially ganged up on us, mobbed us and started throwing punches.
00:30:35.000 Thankfully, I had two security guards with me and we were able to make it out.
00:30:39.000 One of my security guards ended up with a gash under his eye.
00:30:43.000 Other than that, you know, they kept us safe.
00:30:46.000 And, you know, that's the footage that you're seeing right now.
00:30:49.000 You know, I got in a few blows myself and cleared the space so I could get away from that.
00:30:56.000 But the real story here is the fact that the administration right now, the UW administration is failing to do anything right now about numerous incidents of violence, anti-Semitism, Jewish students not being allowed to walk into this quad area.
00:31:10.000 And still no sign or timeline on when the encampment is going to get cleared.
00:31:14.000 Yeah, a Jewish student came up to me when I was on campus for a couple hours, and he said that he walked through the encampment, made a mistake of answering a phone call of a relative in Israel, and he answered in Hebrew, was surrounded by members of the encampment, and they said, we're going to kill you if you come back here and that Jews deserve to die.
00:31:31.000 Jonathan, does that sound like an accurate portrayal of the sort of sentiments held in the encampment?
00:31:36.000 Yeah, not only are we seeing that type of intimidation and threats made openly here on the campus, you have a few counterprotesters out there holding Israeli flags.
00:31:48.000 Those are being immediately snatched away.
00:31:50.000 Again, I want to be very clear.
00:31:51.000 The vast majority of the people right now in the quad are not students.
00:31:55.000 This has been infiltrated by professional activists.
00:31:59.000 These are the same people who helped fuel the BLM riots here in 2020 when Seattle got wrecked.
00:32:05.000 And they're back now trying to cause more mayhem and chaos.
00:32:08.000 Look, this is no longer about being for Palestine or not.
00:32:13.000 What's happening here is you have so many outside agitators, far-left activists with different agendas pushing their communist, Marxist, socialist agenda here.
00:32:21.000 And they're trying to capture this next generation on campus.
00:32:24.000 So Jonathan, I suppose the question I have is what percentage of the people that are doing this are students versus outside agitators?
00:32:32.000 Look, I personally counted now 160 tents.
00:32:37.000 I don't know exactly what the breakdown is, students versus outside agitators, but when there's a tent that has a sign that says death to fascists, and all these Antifa activists are, you know, pretty much, you know, hanging out in this tent, I think the vast majority right now are training up these students how to fight, how to deal with police, because eventually this place is going to get cleared, okay?
00:33:03.000 That's inevitable.
00:33:04.000 It's not a matter of if, but when.
00:33:07.000 So again, they are getting ready for that.
00:33:08.000 We saw a glimpse of what that would look like during your event this past Tuesday.
00:33:13.000 UW administrators gave the activists metal barricades to keep out counter protesters.
00:33:20.000 Let that sink in.
00:33:21.000 Instead of clearing the encampment, they gave out metal barricades so counter protesters couldn't get in, the public couldn't walk through this space, all because they're protecting, it seems like, this quad encampment right now.
00:33:35.000 Jonathan, how can people support or follow the great work that you're doing with Frontlines at Turning Point USA?
00:33:39.000 Yeah, no, thanks for that, Charlie.
00:33:41.000 Again, we're on all the TPUSA platforms, but follow me on social media at ChoShow, C-H-O-E-S-H-O-W.
00:33:48.000 Yeah, and just finally, they're trying to, they come after you personally, right?
00:33:50.000 They had all your personal information that they were releasing.
00:33:53.000 I mean, this is vicious.
00:33:54.000 I forgot about that part.
00:33:55.000 That was probably the worst part of this ordeal rather than some of the blows that I took.
00:33:59.000 They put my personal home address out here on cardboard signs and even wrote it down on umbrella.
00:34:05.000 So if you saw an address on the local news the other day, that was my address.
00:34:09.000 So look, at this point, whatever, bring it.
00:34:11.000 I'm ready.
00:34:12.000 Well, watch your back.
00:34:13.000 I don't know if you're allowed to own a firearm in the state of Washington.
00:34:17.000 But if you are, make sure you know how to use it and use it legally because they want you dead.
00:34:22.000 That's why they had these big signs trying to target you.
00:34:26.000 But you're a stud.
00:34:26.000 We have your back 100% and stay safe.
00:34:29.000 Thank you.
00:34:29.000 Thanks, Charlie.
00:34:30.000 I'm all about the Second Amendment.
00:34:32.000 Good.
